This week on Grey's Anatomy, the BIG merger that we have been anticipating for a good three weeks now has arrived. Meredith monologues the arrival as if they were a disease taking over the body. The invasion starts out small but quickly spirals out of control and the next thing you know, it has taken over. One by one, we see all our original Seattle Gracers meeting the new inhabitants with obvious annoyance-which is ironic because that is how I meet the original Seattle Gracers every week. Meredith looks on from her cot as the new regime strolls in ready to own this bitch.
Remember in season one when you were still pretty and young looking? Welcome to the future bitch.
In the locker room, the Mercy West Newbies (from here on out the MWN's) begin to pick out their lockers, just like the first day of school. They put up photo booth pictures and magazine cut outs of Zac Efron and are ready to start the day. A pixie looking MWN begins hanging up her boyfriends' letterman jacket in her selected locker, George's old locker. Izzie looks on horrified and asks her to pick a different locker. The pixie considers it and decides, no I'm good-plus my pixie cut kicks your pixie cuts ass.
Speaking of kicking ass, Izzie flips out on the pixie telling her that she has no problem fighting right here, right now. Alex comes in right as Izzie is up in the Pixie's face threatening a rumble and pulls her out of the room.
"You don't even know the trailer park beat down you are asking for Pixie!"
The Seattle Gracers, which now includes the non-moronic interns watch over the MWN from Meredith's room. They are irritated that the new ones showed up and made themselves perfectly at home within an hour. They expected them to show some respect for the ones who have staked claim here already.
Meredith gives the troops a pep-talk telling them that they can't let the MWN take over the whole hospital. She's basically like, get off your asses, stop sitting in my room and go get some work done. Again, I wonder why when I've gone to the ER I've sat there for 4 hours while these shmucks sit in a resident's room mourning their loss of things to do. However the pep talk works, and everyone leaves ready to fight for their right to kill patients. Everyone except Yang who has lost all motivation. She doesn't know what she is fighting for anymore.
In the OR it is craziness. There are tons of doctors everywhere just milling around looking for something to do, including the newly returned Torres. Yang and her interns show up and ask the Major where he wants them. His response is interrupted by a hot MWN, Jackson (who looks a lot like Chris Leak, but that's neither her nor there, since I caught his name, I'll call him by it). Jackson tells the Major that they ran the zone at Mercy West and it always worked. I'm more of a man-coverage type of girl because I think people get through holes in the zone, but that's just me. The Major disagrees and tells them to go for it. Yang looks on super pissed.
Come on Gang! Follow me if you don't want to get fired!
Elsewhere in the hospital, Karev finds the Chief and reminds him that Izzie isn't 100% but she needs to keep her job. She can't be fired. Genius Karev, tell somebody who has to make impossible cuts that one of the people who have to save lives isn't functioning at 100%. I'm sure this won't blow up in your face.
Izzie is approached by another MWN with an unfortunately large forehead named Charles. He feels bad about the locker room incident and tries to make nice with Izzie. After she folds a little and offers a handshake, he asks for the code to a research library. Izzie, not ready to even the playing field, tells him it took her two years to get that code and she's not giving it up.
And the MWN aren't the only hospital invaders today. Torres' father has dropped by for a visit and he brought a friend. After regaining Torres' trust by acting like he wanted to play nice, she notices that he has arrived with a holy guest, the family priest. Torres is instantly outraged and begins maniacally saying "You can't pray away the gay" before storming off.
No no no, we didn't come to try and change you, we just wanted to say bye before you end up in hell.

Thanks for the recap TWSS, I said the same thing about Forehead...I know it's mean but he is hideously ugly!
And (it's sad that I know this) But I believe that Callie's whole name is Calliope Euphegenia Torres.
